    the 303 wc is a pure race machine, born anD breD on the worlD cup circuit with input fromour factory team.

    1. The fully custom hydro-formed main frame and swingarm havebeen maximized for stiffness and weight savings.

    2. Using our new inset headtube on the 303 WC allows for a largerheadtube with more welding area and increased stiffness. It is alsoAngleset compatible, allowing for tweaks to the geometry of theframe.

    3. Integrated and replaceable fork bumpers protect your frame andfork without fail. No more worrying about keeping the rubberbumpers in place on the fork stanchions.

    4. Our patented linear rail technology smooths out even the mosttechnical races courses and allows the bike to pedal efficiently.

    5. The splined BB shell can accept a removable ISCG 03’ or 05’ tab.The splined system is lighter than a conventional welded tab andallows for a myriad of chain-guide options.

    6. Custom chain-slap guards on the seatstay and chainstay keepthings quiet while riding and protect the frame.

    7. The 303 WC uses a 3.0 inch stroke, 9.5 inch eye to eye shock, byFox Racing Shox that is easily accessible for tuning.

    Fill the supplied syringe with a high quality lightweight grease. Remove the plunger on the syringe and pack it with the grease. Once the syringe is filled, press the end of the rubber line onto the grease port as shown. Compress the syringe to force grease into the rail system.

    rail system

    Both the rail and block are made from proprietary carbon steel. The rail is then case hardened to between 58 and 64Rc. An Armalloy surface treatment is applied to the rail and the block for corrosion protection and wear resistance. The ball bearings are made from martensitic stainless steel - which is equal to a 440 stainless. End scrapers, end seals, inner seals, and side seals prevent contaminants from entering the system.

    There is also a custom grease port on the end of the block. Grease should be applied with the supplied applicator as needed based on riding conditions, weather and ride time. A good rule of thumb is to grease the rail after each bike wash. After application the suspension needs to be cycled 6-10 times to spread the grease evenly throughout the bearing raceways and ports in the block.

    overview

    01. rail lubrication

    After you have completed the initial lubrication, weight and unweight the bike to compress the shock and actuate the rail system. If you see residual grease left on the rail after cycling the suspension you have sufficiently lubricated the system. After lubrication it is extremely important to clean off any excess grease on the rail before riding. If the rail is not completely clean the grease will attract more contaminants to the rail system.

    Remove the drive side rubber bumper by unthreading the M4 button head bolt with a 3MM allen key.

    fork setup

    Before riding the 303-WC it is extremely important that the clearance between the upper fork crown and the top tube on the frame is checked. If improperly set up the fork crown can contact the top tube causing irreparable damage to the frame. Please consult the following instructions for all fork installations on the 303-WC.

    overview

    01.

    If the upper crown touches the top tube before the stanchion touches the bump stop housing add headset spacers under the upper crown until there is at least 5MM of clearance between the top tube and upper crown. Using a Rock Shock Boxxer “tall” upper crown will require a minimum of 10MM of spacers for adequate clearance.

    03. Caution: the failure to properly set up the fork on the 303 Wc can cause serious and irreparable damage to the frame. if you have any concerns about proper fork setup please consult your local authorized dealer..

    Slowly rotate the fork clockwise. If the fork stanchion touches the outer face of the bump stop housing before the upper crown touches the top tube, the fork is properly set up.

    02.

    Install the drive side rubber bumper with a 3MM allen key.

    Torque to 5-10 in/lb.

    shock setup

    Inspect your shock for any visible damage. If oil is leaking or you notice any damage to the surfaces or seals, please contact the Fox Racing Shox service center for repair at 800.FOx.shOx.

    Shock set-up can fluctuate greatly based on the rider. The set-up guide is intended as a base line to get the rider started. Experiment with your settings to find the set-up that works best for you.

    yeti tips tools neeDeD• Shock Pump• Tape Measue• 2.5mm allen key• 3mm allen key

    01. bottom-out resistance 02. boost valve

    03. sag

    The bottom-out adjuster has four turns of adjustment. This adjustment controls the bottoming resistance of the shock, meaning it controls the compression on the final part of the shocks stroke. The adjuster can be turned by inserting a 3MM allen key into one of the holes around the perimeter of the dial. For more resistance turn the dial clockwise. For less resistance turn the dial counter-clockwise.

    The DHX RC4 has an air pressure range of 125-200 psi, and it must be pressurized. The boost valve allows for seamless transition from small bumps to big drop bottom-outs. For more bottom out control add air pressure in 10 to 15 pound increments to a maximum of 200 psi. For less bottom out control decrease the air pressure to a minimum of 125 psi.

    With a friend supporting the bike, stand on the pedals and allow your body weight to compress the shock. Remain on the bike have your friend measure the eye to eye length of the shock. Subtract this measurement from the static eye to eye of the shock (9.5”) to get your sag measurement in inches. Divide this number by the shocks stroke (3”) to get your sag percentage. The 303 WC rides best at 25-30% sag.

    04. low speeD compressionThe LSC adjuster has an 18 click range of adjustment that is controlled with the blue dial located on the piggyback. The LSC adjuster primarily affects the compression damping during slow speed suspension movements. For more low speed damping turn the dial clockwise. For less low speed damping turn the dial counter-clockwise.

  • 20. 21.

    shock setup

    05. high speeD compressionThe HSC adjuster has a twelve click range that can be adjusted by inserting a 2.5mm allen key into one of the angled holes located just below the LSC dial. The HSC adjuster mainly affects the compression damping during medium-to-fast suspension movements. For more high speed damping turn the dial clockwise. For less high speed damping turn the dial counter-clockwise.

    06. rebounDRebound controls the rate at which your shock returns after it has been compressed. As a general rule, adjustments that are too fast (counter-clockwise adjustment) will produce a springy ride with excessive kick-up of the rear end causing a bucking sensation. Adjustments that are too slow (clockwise adjustment) will cause packing of the rear wheel indicated by a sluggish ride feeling ride. The rebound has 15 clicks of adjustment. For slower rebound, turn the red adjuster knob clockwise. For faster rebound, turn the red adjuster knob counter-clockwise.

    *all clicks and turns are counted clockwise, rotating from the all the way out or counter - clockwise dial position.

    Fit the housing from the rear shifter along the head tube and down the cable stops on the top of the down tube. There are two cable stop groups on the top of the down tube to which housing and brake line can be attached, each with two positions to secure housing. Use the position closest to the drive side of the frame for the rear derailleur housing and secure the line with zip-ties. Next route the housing internally through the drive side seatstay. Work the housing through the two holes on the drive side seatstay and loop into the rear derailleur to finish.

    Caution: the failure to properly route shifter housing can cause malfunction of the shift mechanism and unexpected shifting of gears.

    cable setup

    The 303 WC has full cable housing. By using full cable housing, we have eliminated break points in the line of your shifter housing. This allows riders to experience better overall shifting performance by reducing the entrance of unwanted elements such as sweat and sediment. Use of full cable housing helps prevent corrosion from the elements, damage from chain slap, and keeps the shifting smoother for a longer period of time.

    yeti tips

    01. rear Derailleur

    The rear brake line loops across the head tube and runs down the cable stops on the top of the down tube. Use zip ties to secure the line to the position closest to the non-drive side on the cable guides. Next, run the line below the shock, between the non-drive side of the swingarm and the downtube and across the single cable guide on the bottom of the non-drive seatstay. Secure the line to the guides with zip ties. Ensure the line is finished on the inside of the seatstay when attached to the caliper body. This will prevent the brake line from being compromised if the bike or rider falls.

  • 24. 25.

    assembly

    Make sure your tools are in good condition. A worn allen key can round the hex on a bolt not allowing for proper torque.

    Torque settings are listed throughout the instructions. It is also import to prep all bolt threads. The instructions denote whether to use a blue Loctite compound or grease.

    While the assembly of the 303 WC is possible with standard allen wrenches, the use of a small ratchet with allen key bits will greatly increase the ease of assembly.

    produCT LIFE CYCLE Every YETI frameset has a useful product life cycle. The length of that useful product life cycle will vary depending on the construction and the materials of the frameset, maintenance and care the frameset receives , and the amount and type of use the frameset is subjected to over its life. YETI recommends that an authorized YETI dealer should inspect the frame for stress annually. Frame stress could cause potential failure and the signs are usually apparent in the form of cracks, fracture lines, deformation, dents, and any other visual indicators of abnormality. These safety checks for frame stress are important to prevent accidents, injury to the cyclist, and product failure of a YETI frameset.

In the event that your frame breaks or malfunctions, YETI Cycles shall have no liability or obligation beyond the repair or replacement of your frame pursuant to the terms outlined in the warranty.

    *if you have a warranty concern, please contact your authorized Yeti dealer.
